Release notes for version 14.6.0

Technological stack

This section is important for Server solution. Cloud users need not worry about any of this.

• OS: Debian 12* on amd64 architecture
• Redmine: upgradable from version 5.1.6
• Ruby: 3.3.7
• Bundler: 2.3.7+
• Rubygems: 3.3.x
• Database: Percona/MySQL 8.x
• redis-server: 7+
• NodeJS: 22.13
• Docker engine: 27.3.1
• Docker compose: 2.29.7

Before every application upgrade, please carefully refer to all release notes between your existing version and the new version - there may be critical technical or functional changes explained.

*Debian 11 is still LTS, which means it is still supported by Debian creators. However, some new packages coming in the future will slowly but surely cease to work on Debian 11, which means there is no reason to unnecessarily postpone your OS upgrade.

Ruby and NodeJS are strictly mandatory, without these versions you will not be able to run Easy Project.

Or, forget about the management of technological stack and use Docker deployment. It combines the security of on-premises solution with nearly the comfort of cloud solution.

Required Custom Fields in Timesheets

A new functionality ensures that users can log spent time in timesheets even when required custom fields are present. Instead of an error message preventing entry, a pop-up prompt now directs users to complete the necessary fields, enabling a smoother and more efficient reporting process.

Open Sprints Directly from Dashboard Widgets

A clickable link has been added to sprint names in the Dashboard widget, allowing users to quickly access sprint details. This enhancement improves navigation, streamlines workflow management, and supports better Agile feature presentation.

Inline Editing for Tracker and Category

Previously, changing the tracker or category of a task required a full update. Now, users can edit these fields directly within the task view, making updates faster and more efficient. Additionally, bulk category changes are supported within the same project, and Quick Task View actions have been improved to better align with Open Task View for a more consistent experience.

Update of tooltips in Files settings

Users previously encountered export issues due to application settings, particularly file size limits, which caused confusion. To enhance clarity, tooltips have been updated to provide more detailed information during setup.

Stabilization

The changes are listed in the changelog and at the moment are oriented more on stabilization after some bigger technological steps in the major release.
